Stadler Form Eva Operating Instructions Manual page 7

• Warning: Micro-organisms that may be present in the water or in the en-
vironment where the appliance is used or stored, can grow in the water
container and be blown in the air causing very serious health risks.
Before setup: Anticalc cartridge and water hardness
The anticalc cartridge reduces the limescale in the water and the undesir-
able emission of limescale particles into the surroundings. Effective for one
to three months, depending on water hardness (see table).
Important: Soak the anticalc cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours before
the first use (not in the water tank!). The resin has to absorb water to reach
high performance.
The period of time that the cartridge is effective for depends on the hard-
ness of the water. This can be tested using the testing strips provided (test-
ing strip stuck to the Quick Setup Guide).
1. Dip the testing strips into the water for a second.
2. After around one minute the results can be seen on the test strip.
Some of the green fields change colour into pink. The water hardness is
shown by how many boxes turn pink. Example: If three are pink, then the
water hardness is >14 °dH.

With a water hardness above 21 °dH, we can no longer recommend the use
of an ultrasonic humidifier. We recommend that you use an evaporative
humidifier to increase the humidity in your house (e.g. an Oskar humidifier
made by Stadler Form: www.stadlerform.com/Oskar).
Note: Do not operate Eva with decalcified water out of a decalcification
system that uses the principle of an ion exchanger (salt is added to the wa-
ter). The salt contained in the water may lead to white dust accumulation
around the appliance. To minimize this risk, you can operate Eva using a mix
of distilled and tap water.
However, Eva may be operated from a drinking water filter system (e.g.
Brita). Should you be unsure about the quality or composition of the water in
your area, contact the caretaker or your drinking water provider.
Setting up / operation
1. Put Eva in the desired location on a flat surface. The mist reaches a
height of up to 1.4 m thanks to the high-performance humidification (out-
put level 5, warm mode on). This makes it possible to place Eva directly
on the floor. Connect the power cord (1) to a suitable socket.
